Preparing Students for the next Decade.

---

Next decade, we want our children a better version of in terms of thinking and action. For the peaceful world, we need students possessing values and compassionate graduates who can offer their services to the community

@DARAKHSHAN01 "A truly inspiring vision of education! Preparing students for a future shaped by rapid change means nurturing adaptable, creative, and empathetic minds. Transforming classrooms into innovation hubs—where learning is active, purposeful, and collaborative—is exactly the direction education must take. Well said!"

One other challenge is for educators to find the most appropriate sources of learning and/or collaborating with other educators.

With the vast growth of ICT, and exposure to information nowadays, it could be an overwhelming situation where teachers are overloaded with options or possibilities. At times, it can be quite difficult to decide which could be the best and most appropriate source of learning.

Not only context-wise, but also the application of such enrichment process. Choosing sources would also mean getting the right feedback methods to follow-up of what we deliver in our classes/sessions.

The apparent flow of ICT possesses both advantages and disadvantages for educators and students. A group of students will have a wide variety of backgrounds, which influences the way students respond to topics, the transfers of knowledge, and the conducts of assessments.

What are your most evident challenges in preparing, or guiding your students for next decade?

@Oojala-Tasneem Hi Dear ,
Thinking about what's coming up for students in the next ten years, it's pretty clear some skills will be super important. First off, being able to think critically and solve problems is going to be key – like. The world changes fast, and students need to be able to figure things out on their own.
Then there's adaptability. Things are always shifting, so being flexible and willing to learn new stuff is a must. Also, digital literacy is non-negotiable. Students will need to understand how technology works and how to use it effectively.
Finally, and this is a big one, is the ability to work with AI. It's going to be everywhere, so knowing how to use it and understand its impact will be super valuable.

Dear Miss Oojala, you have raised a great point!

I think students of the next decade should be able to moderate their understanding and share their thoughts and small pieces of knowledge with the whole world, not just in their own schools or cities. It’s not just about being smart; it’s about knowing how to express yourself, how to use digital tools to get your message across, and how to stand out. Students will need to be able to use social media and online platforms to make their voices heard around the globe. That way, they can show their unique ideas and abilities to the world. After all, isn’t it time we let our voices echo beyond the classroom walls?

My thinking is a little different: we are focusing on digital skills a lot lately, but I think kids should also be prepared to learn life skills. They must know how they can grow their own food, how they can farm, fish, cook their own food, and light a fire. It's not like I am asking for preparing them for surviving in the wild , but these are the basic needs that can also be taught to kids for the next decades.

sStudents will need a blend of digital, social, and emotional skills to thrive. Critical thinking, adaptability, and media literacy will be essential in a world shaped by AI and fast-changing technology. Just as important will be empathy, collaboration, and intercultural communication – skills that foster active citizenship and social responsibility. I also believe students must develop a sustainable mindset, learning to value nature, well-being, and long-term thinking over quick wins. The ability to learn, unlearn, and relearn will become more important than memorizing content.

@Oojala-Tasneem In the next decade, students will need to be great problem-solvers, strong communicators, and flexible thinkers. Tech skills like coding and data literacy will matter, but so will creativity, empathy, and the ability to keep learning and adapting in a fast-changing world.

@Oojala-Tasneem
In the next decade, students will need strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills to face real-world challenges.
Digital literacy will be essential as technology becomes part of every job and life area.
Communication and collaboration skills will help them work effectively in diverse teams.
Creativity will drive innovation and new ideas in every field.
Emotional intelligence will guide them in building relationships and managing stress.
With these skills, students will be ready to lead, adapt, and succeed in a fast-changing world.

@Oojala-Tasneem, Essential Skills for Students in the Next Decade
In the coming years, students will need many important skills to succeed in life. Problem-solving and critical thinking will help them find smart ways to fix issues and make good decisions. Communication and teamwork will be key as students work with others and share ideas clearly.

With technology growing fast, digital skills will be a must. Students should know how to use computers, the internet, and new tools. Creativity will also be important for thinking of new ideas and doing things differently.

Students must be ready to change and learn new things, so adaptability and self-learning will help them stay strong in any situation. Lastly, emotional intelligence and leadership will help students understand others, manage feelings, and guide people kindly.

These skills will help students do well in school, work, and the future world.

@IMRAN-KHASKHELI yes adaptability is very important!
